Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1001: The White Haired Demon (Part 2)

The sight that Impress and Krynic witnessed was extremely familiar to them both because something like this had also happened at the Martial Arts Tournament. It was something that few high-level warriors experienced in their lives.

Beasts were, in many ways, more sensitive than humans when it came to other senses. Their simple-minded nature gave them top-tier survival instincts. Of course, in some cases, they would forgo these instincts and try to test the limits one way or another.

In this case, though, the beast was listening to these instincts. If it attacked the person in front of it, its life would come to an end. It realized the mistake it was making and chose to back up.

This had also occurred at the Martial Arts Tournament, but everyone was unsure of the reason or why. Now, Impress had an inkling that the same person was responsible.

”How could that be? Even the basic beasts on this island are enough to give middle-stage warriors trouble. For one to cower in fear like this-that canʼt be whatʼs happening, right?” Krynic asked.

This was exactly what Impress thought had occurred, and she was starting to think they were making a big mistake by being here right now, close to this individual. They needed a lot more than just the two of them.

ʼWe might need all of the elders together to take on this man.ʼ Impress thought, and wondered if even that would be enough.

Raze was looking ahead at the beast, seeing that it had backed away, no longer baring its teeth, but it wasnʼt running either.

”You nearly made a mistake,” Raze commented. ”But Iʼm sure your rash actions on others would have cost many of them their lives. Maybe, even if I were still the man I was before, you wouldʼve caused a hefty wound on me. For that, you will have to be punished.”

Almost as if the beast could understand Razeʼs words, it started to lift both heads in the air. They swirled about, and both of them let out an almighty scream once again. If it was going to be killed by this human anyway, it might as well do whatever it could to hurt the person in front of it.

It dived from above with both its heads right at Raze, opening its mouths wide. Quickly, as one head came right in front of Raze, he placed his hand on top of it and shoved it to the ground.

”Take the punishment you deserve!” Raze forcefully pushed down, and the head snapped shut and crashed into the floor. The ground broke underneath, and small fissures appeared.

As the top half of the beastʼs mouth met the bottom half, its jaw shattered, and part of its skull bent in.

The beast wasnʼt done yet, though, as it had a second head ready to attack. Both heads had moved at the same time, and this one came at Razeʼs side.

Reaching out from his back, Raze pulled out the sword from its sheath and slashed down. As he did, half of the beastʼs head was sliced off, and it stopped in its path before it could even reach Raze.

With its two heads gone, the beastʼs life came to an end. Its body started to tilt to the side and crashed onto the ground. Just like that, with next to no effort at all, the beast was dealt with.

The beast that had easily dealt with the white-furred monkey was, in turn, just as easily dealt with by Raze. This gave those watching a small idea of what had occurred.

”This is quite annoying,” Raze said as he held the Ghost Blade in his hand. The sword was clean, void of blood due to how fast it had been swung.

The reason for Razeʼs sigh was the extra step he now had to take as he reached and placed the sword back into its sheath located on his back. Knowing the details of the island and what it was capable of, Raze had prepared beforehand.

What he had just attempted out of habit was to use his Dark Magic to place the sword away. Yet, it didnʼt work. None of his magic had worked since he landed on the island.

Although he had learned this beforehand, he found it hard to believe. He knew of spells and items that could do such things, but even then, there was a limit to how much magic could be stopped.

Now, as a six-star mage, for his magic to still be stopped was incredibly impressive, especially for it to have such a wide range.

On top of that, there were other issues. He couldnʼt switch out his weapons, so he only had the enchanted Ghost Blade. And then there were the enchantments themselves.

His Ghost Blade didnʼt glow orange when he placed his Demonic Qi in the weapon. All the effects of the weapon were gone as well.

Still, there were some things he had brought with him, one of them being a pouch of different Qi pills. He wasnʼt so sure these wouldnʼt work, since they needed to be consumed, but he didnʼt want to test them out right now to see whether they worked or not.

He imagined taking a load of cursed Qi pills only to feel their effects once he left the island.

ʼThe beasts on this island arenʼt too hard. Are they level-three beasts?ʼ Raze wondered. ʼI guess this isnʼt like the other dimensions Iʼve been in. I thought they would be more difficult.ʼ

It wasnʼt just Raze who thought this as well.

”Maybe the beast wasnʼt as strong as we thought, and that was just a regular monkey?” Krynic said. ”I still couldnʼt feel his Qi.”

Although Krynic still wanted to fight, the same couldnʼt be said for Impress, who was already shuffling her feet back.

”You guys over there! Youʼve been watching for a while now... Either come out and attack me or tell me who you are!” Raze demanded.
